[gbrebory]

nobody knows eh? thats not good

I know. The kick starter side will freeze up due to lack of lubrication. Another way it will freeze is the center gets to much play and gears start to mash. Check you kick starter half moon to see if the teeth are worn. then check the spindex teeth that the half moon gear tocuches. If the teeth are not spripped oil the spindex but make sure all excess oil is removed because it can cause belt slippage if you use to much.

you do not have to remove the lever. just the six bolts

No fluids will come out or springs or snakes (that would be weird)
